Mbele, a critic of the Tonse Alliance government, was arrested in January for sharing a document on social media and was later granted bail.<\/p>\n<p>As part of conditions for his release, Mbele was told not to express himself in a manner that would infringe other people\u2019s rights. Mbele still uses his Facebook account to criticize the Lazarus Chakwera administration and condemn corruption and it appears his posts have not gone well with the police.<\/p>\n<p>The law enforcers have applied for Mbele\u2019s bail to be revoked and the case is expected to be heard in court on June 9, 2022. Writing about the issue on social media, Mbele said police want to re-arrest him for talking about businessperson Zuneth Sattar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn London, Zuneth Sattar approached the Court to vary conditions of his bail. The Court Refused. Reason: He is facing serious allegations of corruption with Malawi Government Officials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Malawi, The State will approach the Court to revoke the Bail of one Joshua Mbele.
